Other relationship identified in the sample

2) Older brother and younger brother: Majoon and Tak-Goo demonstrate a negative relationship between the older and younger brothers.
Comparison between identified sample and Confucian ideals for relationships
Similarities:
Confucius said,“The father who does not teach his son his duties is equally guilty with the son who neglects them.”
In this scene, Kim Tak Goo's father teaches his son the techniques of making bread to his best ability. Despite the son's disturbance and importunate curiosity, the father remains patient and willingly lets his son stay. Such a scene portrays a good example of a wise father who teaches his son his knowledge (and his duties to eventually prepare him to inherit his father's business) instead of abusing his authority.
Differences:
Older Brother & Younger brother:
Confucius said, “Simply by being a good son and friendly to his brothers a man can exert an influence upon government.” (2:21)
According to the Confucius teachings, the younger brother is to remain obedient and respectful to the older brother. However, Goo Ma Joon (the other young boy who talks with Kim Tak Goo) demonstrates the exact opposite of this behavior and does not show any characteristics of a wise brother; he displays obvious jealousy of his father's attention towards his older brother, Kim Tak Goo. Goo Ma Joon's behavior toward his older brother is entirely rude, violent, and disobedient.
